10 too less. 50 posts + 10 days of registering fine.
10 is sufficient. spammers just make 2-3 posts. And if they fail in first- second try, they won't try again. On my forum I have just set 5 reply to make new thread, and I get almost zero spam posts.
Random question answer (some new type questions) is much better than captcha for new user registration and works like magic to reduce spammers registration.
Also, there is a Vbulletin plugin which can set rules like this:
If total number of posts is less than X, user cannot start new thread.
If total number of posts is less than Y, user cannot post hyperlink.
If total number of posts is less than Z, user cannot post image.
etc...................
